Nacogdoches Farmers Market

SNAP is part of the weekly plan at Nacogdoches Farmers Market, a year-round Saturday market held at the Old Hitch Lot in Downtown Nacogdoches. The market has operated since 2006 and brings together vendors from within a 90-mile radius, tying the shopping mix closely to East Texas growers and makers. Its setting at 107 West Pearl places it right in the downtown core, with a Welcome Booth on site for payment options, SNAP accommodations, market merchandise, and general information. That combination of weekly consistency, downtown placement, and practical support gives the market a clear, easy-to-plan rhythm.

Why it matters locally

Nacogdoches Farmers Market draws its vendors from within a 90-mile radius of the market, which keeps the roster tied to producers and value-added businesses from the surrounding region rather than far-flung resellers. The market itself started in 2006, giving it a defined place in the city’s more recent agricultural and downtown life.

Its nonprofit structure also matters here: the market operates as a 501(c)(3), and it accepts SNAP benefits as part of its regular setup. In a city described through its agricultural background and history, that combination links the market to both local production and food access in a direct way. The Old Hitch Lot location in Downtown Nacogdoches keeps that activity visible in the center of town each Saturday morning.

What you'll find there

The market’s published vendor information points to a mix that includes value-added goods alongside farm-oriented sellers, rather than produce alone. On the ground, that means shoppers may encounter practical pantry and body-care items in addition to standard market staples.

• -Browse Bullwinkle Tallow Products for Face & Body Cream and Scrub, Lip Balm, CBD Isolate infused tallow cream, and Tallow Lipstick Gloss.
• -Pick up Bullwinkle Tallow Products sunscreen, tallow-based soaps, and cooking tallow.
• -Look for Bullwinkle Tallow Products Tallow Honey Cinnamon spread among the vendor’s value-added offerings.

The market also describes weekly support for the local bee population and year-round Saturday activities including live music, chalk, bubbles, vendor chats, and children’s activities.

Know before you go

Not all vendors take debit or credit cards, so payment planning can shape your visit before anything else. The market does accept SNAP benefits, and the Welcome Booth is the place to go for payment options, SNAP accommodations, market merchandise, and more information once you arrive.

The market sets up at the Old Hitch Lot in Downtown Nacogdoches at 107 West Pearl, and it runs on Saturdays from 9:00am to noon year-round. Dogs are welcome, which makes it easier to fold a market stop into a downtown morning walk. Restrooms are not listed as available in the visitor details, so it helps to plan around a shorter stay.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP benefits are accepted at Nacogdoches Farmers Market, and the Welcome Booth handles SNAP accommodations along with other payment-option questions. The market also notes that not all vendors take debit or credit cards, so card acceptance can vary from booth to booth. That makes the Welcome Booth the key first stop if you want to sort out how you’ll pay.
